About this property

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beachcomber-3 Bed/2 Bath 10th Floor

Looking for a "view from the top"? You'll find it at Beachcomber - a lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo on the 10th floor at the By the Sea condominium building on Seawall Boulevard. It's not REALLY the top - there are a couple of higher floors - but really, when you're this high - does a few more feet matter?

Primary bedroom with King bed and en-suite bath, queen in the other 2 bedrooms & queen sleeper sofa in living room - welcomes up to 8 guests.

You’ll get a nostalgic feeling from days gone by when you visited your parents or grandparents – but still be comfortable enjoying this spacious place. There’s a separate dining area with a table and chairs – some use it for games and puzzles, others for meals.

The kitchen has all full-sized appliances and all the cookware, dinnerware, glassware, etc. you’ll need whether you opt for the great dining experiences around Galveston and having leftovers, or if you wish to prepare all of your own meals “at home”. Your choice!

The owners would rather unplug while they are here, so there is only a television in the living room – but we have convinced them that WiFi is a must – so bring your tablets or laptops for your viewing pleasure in the bedrooms.

The complex has a crystal pool and tennis court and of course you are literally across Seawall Boulevard from the beach.

We provide self check in instructions and then we allow our guests to enjoy their stay uninterrupted. However - should you need anything we are but a phone call away. This information is emailed 24-72 hours ahead of your scheduled arrival time.

Like every condo complex in Galveston, the By The Sea complex does charge a resort/parking/amenity fee – this is something that is paid directly to them when you arrive – we cannot collect or pay this on your behalf. As of August of 2024 the charges are $37.89 per vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, slingshot, golf cart); $75.78 for a vehicle and trailer, and $10.83 per pet. These charges are in addition to the charges you are paying to My Galveston Getaway for rent and pet fees and please remember that we accept dogs only, and they must be approved in advance with any animal or breed identified as dangerous or vicious cannot be in the condo or at the complex. We may request a picture of the dog(s) before approving. There is a 2-dog maximum, with a combined total weight of 100 pounds. Thank you for understanding that these charges to the complex are out of our control.

What's included: Bed linens for all beds, bath, hand and wash cloth for each guest that the unit welcomes. We do not provide beach/pool towels and we do ask that ours not be removed from the condo and taken to the beach or pool. They can get damaged or lost.

Starter supplies: 2 rolls of 2-ply, quilted toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, a dishwasher tablet, small dishwashing liquid, sponge, 2 small soaps, 2 small shampoos, trash bag, and coffee including sweeteners, stir sticks, powdered creamer to make that first pot. These are not intended to last your entire group through your entire stay - but to get in, get situated and figure out where you will shop for what on the island.

There are pay per use laundry facilities at the complex – but not a washer/dryer in the condo itself.

We strive for 100% guest satisfaction – or as we call them – 5 Starfish Reviews. This is why we try to be as honest as possible in our listings. So if you find anything upon your arrival that was not as we described it – please give us a call and give us a chance to make it right! We want you to be happy. We realize that everyone can make a mistake or have a bad day – it’s how you recover that shows your true character – so we would appreciate your giving us the opportunity to turn that frown upside down and make this the best trip you’ve had (so far – until you book your next one). VRBO also gives us the chance to review you as guests and we want to give you a 5 star review as well.

Come Stay With Us at Beachcomber!

Loved the beach view and sitting on the balcony. One of the toilets didn't work, so that caused all of us to use 1 bathroom, but it worked out.

The unit was very nice. Good location. View was great.
The ac filter was dirty sending black dirt on ceiling s. Towel racks fell off the wall. Upholstered furniture was dirty needs to be recovered. A blackout curtain needs to be installed in master bedroom. Just suggestions. Art work was great, kitchen was beautifully set up with all necessities. Just needed a little tweaking.

Bucket List Finally Got Shorter!
The place was great, the views were wonderful, the owners were very nice and helpful. The only things we did not like was that there were mirrors and glass topped furniture everywhere, haha; and that when we arrived everything was unplugged and all the light bulbs were unscrewed….we were all just super annoyed after the 12hour drive to come in and have to find all the outlets and figure out the bulbs and all of that. Otherwise the property is great

Fabulous people!!!!
This was a girls/moms weekend with friends coming from across the country. Donna was beyond fabulous with not only communication but with service! We had a couple hic ups, (doesn’t all travel?) the communication was amazing and allowed us to spend our trip without any problems. This location is right on the beach, had room for everyone and was super clean. 100% recommend!!!!!

Incredible view
We enjoyed being able to look over the water. And watching the ships lining up at night to go to the Houston ship channel was fun. My mom has mobility issues and this was the perfect place to stay for her. Great location that made going to get food easy. The staff at by the Sea condominiums were absolutely wonderful. It was fun trying to remember how to use the old microwave, which worked great. It was a good trip.

It was great time at the lone star rally. Great view from the condo. It does get hot with the sun coming through the windows and the AC doesn’t keep up very well. Other then that it was great place to stay.

Very nice stay
We had a great stay. The property is as described in the listing. It is comfortable for a large family or two small families with room to spread out. The kitchen is well appointed with multiple coffee machines including a Keurig. The views of the gulf and beach from the living area and two smaller bedrooms are great, and the large balcony makes the stay. The property and parking area are well maintained. The check-in and check-out process was seamless and the management is very communicative. Highly recommended.

Clean but very dated
If you’re looking for clean beds, bathrooms, and towels and do not care about leaving your clothes in suitcase because all the dressers smell moldy or, rusted appliances (microwave), non functioning stovetop and broken carafe Mr. coffee pot, uncomfortable living room and deck furniture this is your place. Location is good for beach and restaurants, and Walmart. The cookware was minimal so cooking for 5 people was a little rough especially with two burners working. Downstairs staff is very accommodating and friendly. We had a closet door that would not open and even though it wasn’t their place, they came up and assisted us since most were seniors. I think $36 is a little steep for parking since it’s outside and not really monitored. If I ever returned to Galveston, which I doubt, and stayed longer than one night, I wouldn’t recommend without a total renovation.
